Tomorrow Stella and Kate will ride in the Teddy Bear Du-Athalon: a
quarter-mile run, two mile ride, quarter mile run. It’s a fun event
that follows on the heels of the Du The Bear Du-Athalon in which the
DaddyMom will compete: two mile run, 14 mile ride, two mile run.
Chris at Cycle World was full of great advice, explaining that there
are really FIVE events: run, transition, ride, transition, run. Each
segment is timed and the cumulative time determines placement.
As he spoke, my competitive juices began stirring…. Reason
interceded. I told Chris my goal is finishing; time is a tertiary
concern behind finishing and doing so without injury.
Check back tomorrow to see just how it goes.
